Really, it's that simple ? Some guy named " r.c. Christian " and I'm the gullible one eh ? ... Keep searching it raydog... Because that's not his name, that's a fake name. " r.c " stands for Rose and cross, the Rosicrucian " if you don't know who they are look them up, pretty serious. Yes, believing in the one true God, has given me freedom and I can truly say I'm free now. I don't think you understand the significance of what's going on around you, there will be no place to hide.

The most widely agreed-upon interpretation of the stones is that they describe the basic concepts required to rebuild a devastated civilization.[17]Brad Meltzer notes that the stones were built in 1979 at the height of the Cold War, and may have been intended as a message to the possible survivors of a World War III. The engraved suggestion to keep humanity's population below 500 million could have been made under the assumption that it had already been reduced below this number.[18]Comment -

#1056There's so much busting on God and Christianity in here. Maybe choose another religion? Here's a few samplings.
Islam? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam
Hinduism? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinduism
Judaism? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaism
Scientology? (this might appeal to some here) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sciento..._and_practices
Mormonism? (lucky underwear anyone?) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormonism

He talks about lowering the rate of population growth in the same sentence as vaccines (along with health care, reproductive services)
Rational Translation: Vaccines, better health services, access to birth control could help slow the exploding population and keep it healthier.

#1067i think the idea that "god" puts a mother through 9 months of pregnancy, only to born a diseased child who's few days on earth are extremely painful until death, is enough proof there is no "god" controlling anything ... a kind and loving god would never do that... stop making excuses
i guess ill never get any answers...uh excuses... as to why all these Humanly impossible occurrences, that are found all throughout the bible, have never been seen/arisen since the days when the bible was compiled? is god just taking a break?Comment -

#1073I kind of like this, how would we treat others, if one of them were an angel or the messiah ?
…9There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. 10He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. 11He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.…
13And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. 14And they talked together of all these things which had happened. 15And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. 16But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.Comment -

#1077but you dont explain it.. you say it cant be explained and thats not good enough... god has a plan or its gods will or the evil that god cant control is at fault... all excuses given instead of saying i dont know.. i totally understand that its impossible to know these thing... honestly, i do.. and i understand why people make these excuses for their god... yet, there are no excuses for the good, its all god...or god gave me the power... or god answered my prayer... you see why its conflicting? if something is controlling the good, then that same thing has to be controlling the bad... and there is entirely too much of both for anything to be controlling it, IMO... (im sure you will mention lucifer and i would like to discuss him too)
fwiw, i dont mean to name call.. when i use gullible or something, i speak of the masses... some folks are so far out there with their religious views, its scary ...
bf, i know you are trying to do good by continuing to post in the thread with us...your efforts and kindness arent going unnoticed and i know that in your mind, you are trying to help us... and for me, that makes you a friend in my book ...
but i need rational answers for the impossible... what i dont get is how you have so much faith in so much of the impossible... you know man cant walk on water or turn water into wine or turn women into salt and women cant have virgin births etc. etc. etc.... so why do you believe that this happened over 4-5-6000 yrs ish ago and nothing like it ever since? i guess it goes back to your story where you think god touched you somehow, but that just makes too little sense to me...great story and all, but there are so many that quit a lot of things, cold turkey, and never look back...sometimes the body just says enough and will power allows a change to be made... i know you dont think its coincidence that you prayed for the help, but dont you think you could have achieved this goal without ever turning to god and prayer? i do
but lets talk lucifer... tell me about this cat... wasnt he just a normal angel and then turned bad...tried to overtake god...(which seems odd since god created everything) and he and his group of angels were booted from heaven... so how did this angel, created by god, get these powers to convince mankind to do evil? and why didnt god just do away with lucifer altogether... erase him ...

Now for your question, God creates all and He makes peace and love. He will use everything for His glory though. No matter evil or good, if it brings His children to Him, He will use it. Some of us need pain to listen, I know I did. I'd rather have went through more pain, then being lost to the world. It's not that Gods a jerk, He uses these things, to try to help us turn from our wicked ways and lifestyles, if we don't turn when the pain comes, we our do for what comes next. If all we had was happiness and joy, " which we will in heaven " why would we need God ? People would become arrogant, vain and full of pride. Some people think they have it all and a perfect life, that they don't need God, why would they, they have it all right ? Then they get cancer, or lose a child to a drunk driver .... Now they don't feel so indestructible, it humbles them, because they know they are not in control. We do not know the day or the hour of our death. We do not know what are life's will be like in the next ten years, it's all uncertain. When we have God with us, none of it matters, we know that we are in His hands. As long as we are doing His will helping others. We've done our Fathers business, and that's really all we are here to do, the flesh is short about a hundred years short, the soul is forever, eternity is timeless.
Here's a verse for you to think about though...
Isiah 45:7
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I YAHWEH do all these things.

#1079^^^ - why would we need God ? People would become arrogant, vain and full of pride.
it seems like this is already the christian norm... arrogantly sin with the idea that sins will be forgiven and then strut over to the next sin... it gives religion, followers and god a bad name... the all around better people for society appear to be the non believers who keep to themselves and dont shove any religious views on other people..
i cant buy into the idea that god will punish, either by disease or death or anything really shitty, just to let someone know he is in charge...it happens to the best of people too... shit happens to innocent kids, how does that get explained? ...seems he punishes/tempts/lets down the most innocent and loving of people... why isnt he killing off more of the non believers? why doesnt he give a true, very noticeable sign to all of the world that he is real? perform some impossible feat, like the ones in the bible, to prove to us all? its been what, 4-5000years since these impossible miracles "supposedly" happened...
im not even sure why god would trust that people would take his word, written by so many others, to heart... i mean, sure, they say its all the word of god, but he doesnt write a word... why are we supposed to trust the words of others, some who never met god/jc others they wrote about... how do we even know god wrote the 10 commandments? because others say that he did? why is there so much trust in these other authors? because they say to worship "god" we are supposed to? you see where im going with this? seems like you have to have more faith in many different authors and the panel of people who put the bible together, than a god itself

i know these are really unanswerable questions... you werent there to see for yourself.. im just typing out loud, so to speak ... they come out as a lot of questions to you, but are really just questions im pondering too...
that particular video is pretty fake...its at a rave or some sort of huge party where perhaps the fire/light show ispart o f the entertainment.. but i have seen other, slightly more convincing videos..well, more realistic maybe ...most are merely fires or staged fires that liken the presence ...they all seem to get debunked one way or the other... nothing wrong with them, imo..they show the spirit of the people and helps them band together, but none really get taken too seriously... they seem to be spectacles at events or large gatheringsComment -

45And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. 46And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. 47And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. 48And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
Jesus was in the temple with the elders, they were astonished at His understanding of scripture when He was just a boy... He used old Testament a lot, from the law to comparing what He was getting across, He used OT.
Idk, the video could be fake, I wasn't at that event. You say you've seen others more believable, I'd love to see them. That one was one of the first ones to pop up after a search but I'm telling you, I've seen something like it with my very own eyes, right after praying in my backyard one night.

A lot of the bible is misunderstood, it's a spiritual book with physical elements.. but I think in Jeremiah it talks about lucifer and his fall a little bit have to look it up again. They do have a book called " the book of Enoch ", it's apocryphal though, so I read it but I don't place my trust of truth in it. It talks a lot about the fallen angels that fell from heaven in the beginning of time, how they made a pack with one another to come down to earth and take for themselves daughters of men. This is where we get Goliaths and this type of thing, it goes against Gods creation, the genetic code " DNA " that God made us with. Scientist are messing with this code today, cloning and so fourth, they even have little neon fish at walmart... They want us to like what they are doing... Pretty disgusting stuff going,
Hope this explains a little better about the lucifer situation...Comment -

#1085Raydog speaks of proof of the ten commandments written by God. That's a good question. Why did the templars
hide the holy grail that the ten commandments are in? From what I gather, the church had gotten too powerful
and the templar's hid it from them to stop/ curb their power. I hope most of us know the church (King James)
wrote much of what's in the bible to control it's people.
The same with the dead sea scrolls. Hidden from the powerful church. Supposedly, the dead sea scrolls are the true
story of Christ and is throwing a wrench in the way the church operates/ believes/ preaches.
As far as why bad things happen to good people, I feel your pain Ray. The world has always been a violent place.
From one celled animals to the weather. Everything has a beginning and an end. How we get to the end is out of
our control (in most cases).
Christ say's, whoever believes in him shall have everlasting life. We don't know, but we hope there's a better
place than this after we are gone. Just because we can't physically touch or see the other side, doesn't mean it's
not there.Comment
